Aquarium size for full grown female Hoggie?

So, last time I tried to measure her, she was about 15 inches or so which was a few months ago, I weighed her a week ago and she weighs about 43.4 grams at the moment. I currently have her in a 18” x 18” x 24” (LxWxH) Exo Terra aquarium. When will it be time to upgrade her enclosure?

What aquarium size is needed for one full grown Female Purpleconda Western Hognose Snake? I know females get about 2 and a half - 3 feed long.. I was thinking about upgrading her enclosure to a 36” x 18” x 24” (LxWxH) Exo Terra once she gets older? Would this be big enough? Thoughts?

The minimum I would go is a 20 gallon breeder tank. Although I would go with a 40 Gallon breeder tank with lots of hides and decorations. I don't know what you have in your tank but I would have at least one thing for your hog to climb on(Mine likes to climb) and I would also put in a humid hide. It's always best to give your snake choices then just assuming what they want/like.

20 gallon long is fine, your idea for the upgraded exoterra is perfect though. =)
